Section 1
Overview & Marketplace Structure
1.1 Multi-Vendor Ecosystem & Operating Model
MeekyStore.co.zw operates as a multi-vendor marketplace connecting buyers with both MeekyStore Central Inventory and Independent Third-Party Sellers ("Local Vendors" / "Booths") across Zimbabwe.
β’ Platform Operator: MEEKY STORE PTY LTD (South Africa) provides the marketplace software, buyer protection frameworks, and payment escrow logic.
β’ Logistics Partner: MPX Global Zimbabwe manages fulfillment, inspection hubs, and local door-to-door deliveries.
β’ Third-Party Sellers: Independent businesses and individuals who list, price, and sell their own products directly through their branded Booths on MeekyStore.
Because orders may be fulfilled directly by MeekyStore or by an independent seller, return and replacement workflows depend on the item source.

2. Not as Described: The item received significantly differs from the photos, specifications, or condition stated on the seller's product listing.
3. Wrong Item Delivered: The seller dispatched an incorrect model, size, color, or quantity.
3.2 Escrow & Payout Protection
To protect buyers, funds collected via Pesepay or mobile money (EcoCash/OneMoney) are held in escrow by MeekyStore. Payouts to independent local sellers are withheld until:
β’ The 48-hour return inspection window lapses without a reported dispute, OR
β’ The buyer explicitly confirms satisfactory receipt on the Platform.
Section 4
Return & Replacement Workflow for Local Vendors
Step 1: File a Return Request
Submit a return request through your MeekyStore Account Dashboard under My Orders > Request Return or email [email protected] within 48 hours of delivery. You must upload clear photos/videos showing the defect or mismatch.
Step 2: Item Drop-Off & Technical Verification
Bring or dispatch the item to the MPX Global Pickup Hub (Eastgate Market, Harare). Our quality control team will verify the item against the original listing description within 24 to 48 hours.
Step 3: Resolution & Seller Liability
